Drugs

There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t hear about a new drug or drug abuse.

Many of you are aware of the debate over whether or not marijuana should be legalized. Many people, both celebrities and non-celebrities have endorsed the legalization of the drug. Unfortunately they don’t think about anything else other than the natural feel good effect they achieve by inhaling or consuming the drug. If everything that makes us feel good were to be legalized why not legalize all currently illegal drugs?.... I do not agree with the legalization of marijuana by any means. Just because it can realize people or stress and pain whether physically or emotionally doesn’t mean that it is necessary. The drug only temporarily relieves the emotion but does not cure it nor does it make life overall better by ingesting it.

I think the fact that there are so many celebrities that endorse the use of marijuana it has made the use of the drug more acceptable and less embarrassing for those who do it or were planning to try it.

Of course there are going to be those who say that it is up to the parent to teach their kids and tell them what their stance is on the matter therefore they do not need to worry about what everybody else is doing….However, no matter what anybody says, those who are on television, in magazines, on the radio and those people around them serve has models as to what and how a person should be. If there was no influence by celebrities and models clothing, music and movie sales would be almost nonexistent…right??! 

So, people who believe that no one other the parents and peers are models for development, are not being truthful.

To be continued…
